Photoprint of a watercolor of the Tabor Opera House original scenery in Leadville, Colorado. Painted by Muriel Wolle's as part of her University of Colorado scenery project, the painting has three elements that include details of Lake County Courthouse. The outer two elements are exterior corner quoins, windows with lintels and sills, and bushes. The center is an interior with a three panel door. In December, 1933, a group of students, professors, and a former Tabor stage manager located and set up original canvas flats and drops to document and photograph, while Wolle sketched each set and made color notes which were developed into large watercolor paintings.
